Description
- The present subject matter, described herein, in general, relates to the sanitary unit and in particular, relates to a moveable bathroom fixture, for example, a stackable toilet.
- Conventional bathrooms are designed so that the typical bathroom fixtures (sinks, walls, showers, toilets, etc.) are permanently secured in place when construction is completed. This means that the placement of these fixtures may be suitable for the first user, but may not be acceptable to subsequent users. Subsequent users may find the design unacceptable for many reasons, including their age, height, physical mobility (or disability), etc. The prior art has, as of yet, failed to appreciate this problem, much less suggest a solution.
- Every bathroom or sanitary unit has three key components, namely, a sink or a wash basin, a commode, and a shower. These components are at different heights, with the commode being at a lower level, the sink approximately at waist height and the shower head approximately over the head of the user. However, all these components are usually arranged horizontally and not vertically. Also, a person uses only one of the components at an instant of time, while the space occupied by the other two components is technically wasted.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,337,525 (Zaccai et al. ) discusses flexibility, but only to a narrow extent. This patent discloses a rail system in the bathing area. The rail system allows soap dishes and seats to be positioned around the bathing area, but the size of the bathing area is fixed, and the placement of the showerhead/faucet is fixed as well. - All other prior art patents either use modularity to make construction easier, or modify bathroom fixtures for use by handicapped individuals. In every case, the fixtures are permanently built into the bathroom structure, preventing flexibility.
- The following patents all teach modularity:
U.S. Pat. No. 3,230,549 (McMurtrie et al. );U.S. Pat. No. 3,533,200 (Zoebelein );U.S. Pat. No. 3,765,139 (Litvin et al. );U.S. Pat. No. 4,653,128 (Canalizo ); andU.S. Pat. No. 5,903,937 (Clarke ). The context of the modularity in every case is to lower the cost of fabrication, storage, and delivery of the bathroom unit. The object of all these patented inventions is to provide a conventional bathroom at a lower cost. In every case, the bathroom constructed has all the fixtures permanently attached to the walls and/or floor. -
U.S. Pat. No. 4,928,329 (Palmeri ) discloses modified conventional bathroom fixtures for use by the handicapped. This invention simply replaces permanent conventional fixtures with the permanent handicapped accessible fixtures. -
